Anusia Crawford – AR Massage and Beauty Therapy
Hiya! I’m Anusia also known as Noosh. I have an NQ and HND in Beauty Therapy and have been working as a therapist for 18 years. While enjoying doing beauty treatments, I have always had a great passion for massage. I do deep tissue, swedish, aromatherapy, pregnancy and hot stones massage. I always go to the pressure that the client is comfortable with. The Old Course Hotel in St Andrews was where my beauty career began, I then worked in a busy city centre salon and now work at the hub and part time in a spa.
I love my job and feel it gives amazing job satisfaction. I like to make people feel good and after a massage or any Beauty Treatment, they do. I get a wee thrill because I have helped the client to feel that way.
The BMS Hub is such a lovely place to work, so relaxing and chilling! The scenery is amazing and such a tranquil place to have treatments.
I will be working here on Tuesday and Wednesdays. The treatments I am excited to offer will be massage, reiki, reflexology, hoping to introduce facials and some beauty treatments too.
Thank you so much for taking the time to read my bio! I am a very positive, happy and caring person, and have a good listening ear. If you would like to book an appointment you can contact me on 07789202856. Hopefully see you all soon, take care and stay safe. X x
Alison Binnie Counselling
My name is Alison Binnie and I am a Pluralistic Counsellor with a range of experience using various different approaches in counselling including person-centred and Cognitive Behavioural Therapy.
I have a MSc in Counselling and am a member of the British Association for Counselling and Psychotherapy. I am currently counselling at Insight Counselling in Dundee and the Body Mind Soul Hub in Monikie. I was a Community Education Worker for many years, and I have also worked for a children’s charity as a mediator, at Dundee College as a vocational tutor and latterly set up and ran a local business with my husband.
I have experience in working with people dealing with anxiety, depression, low mood, low self-esteem, lack of confidence, work related stress, suicidal ideation, self-harm, bereavement, end of life, relationship/family issues, anger management, childhood sexual abuse, emotional issues related to menopause and general issues in dealing with change, life transitions and emotional difficulties in general.
I offer face to face counselling in the Body Mind Soul Hub, online counselling via Zoom and also ‘walk and talk’ counselling, where we conduct our sessions outdoors in the beautiful Angus countryside. I can provide short term therapy to equip you with immediate coping strategies or long term continued support, whichever suits you. I have experience of working with young people aged 14+ and adults.
Coming to see a counsellor can be a daunting decision, but in the BMS Hub you will find a warm welcome and a safe, non-judgemental place to talk. I offer a free initial consultation at the Hub to discuss what it is you would like to focus on and more importantly to let you decide whether I am the right counsellor for you – do you feel that you could talk freely to me, are we a good match? If I am, we will work together to identify what it is that has brought you to see me, what you would like to achieve and then to identify ways in which we can work together to accomplish this.
If you would like to get in touch you can call me on 07985 213132 or email me at ab-counselling@outlook.com
Jenni Paterson – Yoga for All
I am a fully qualified Seasonal Yoga Teacher, qualifying in the summer of 2020. I have been teaching online during the pandemic, helping people deal with the stresses and strains of everyday life. I am also a part-time Primary School Teacher and tutor, plus most importantly a mum of a teenage son. I am a kids yoga teacher, a soon to be teens yoga teacher and I at present I am studying a Yoga Philosophy and Meditation course which will bring me up to a 300hrs Seasonal Yoga Teacher.
Seasonal Yoga works with nature and the changes within them. Each season resonates with different organs of the body with moves to nourish these, foods which work well within that season and simple tips which can help you through. I focus on the movement and the breath to help you connect your body and mind. I like to integrate breathing techniques, movement, meditation and relaxation into different classes.
I am offering these as a 1:1 or 2:1 at present until we can once again work with larger groups.
Once a month on a Sunday, I use Yoga Nidra as a relaxation technique at the Hub. Yoga Nidra is a “yogic sleep” it is a deep relaxation technique and a form of meditation. Also called “psychic sleep,” yoga nidra is a state between sleeping and waking. The body is completely relaxed and the practitioner turns the awareness inward by listening to a set of instructions; much like a guided meditation.

Morna Milton-Webber – The Body Mind Soul Hub
I am a qualified Graphic Designer and Scientific & Technical Illustrator achieving my diploma in 1990. I worked for a number of years as part of a small team within an architects firm whilst being a freelance artist. Then in 1992, I saw a job advertised for working with adults with learning difficulties providing art as a therapy and I thought, this is the job for me! I spent many happy years at the Resource Centre in Montrose until my son was born and I decided I wanted to be a stay at home Mum. That was the best ‘job’ I ever had, being Ruairidh’s Mum!!
In 2000, I took a specialist course for Art & Craft Activities as a Learning Strategy for People with Learning Difficulties/ Disabilities. I am also a qualified Complementary Therapist gaining my HNC in 2003. I achieved a merit in Diet and Nutrition and Related Disorders but specialised in Aromatherapy Massage and in 2018, I gained my diploma in Thai Hand & Foot massage. I am a full member of the Complementary Therapists Holistic Association [CTHA].
I am driven to promote the healing benefits of all Holistic Therapies. Every Monday, I offer Hot Oil Hand & Foot Massage Treatments that leave you feeling relaxed, de-stressed, rejuvenated and revitalised. I also run small group fun, creative art, craft and design classes that will help to de-stress and calm the mind. Art, design and drawing is an amazingly therapeutic pastime and is a great non verbal form of communication.
Morna is available most days at the BMS Hub.
Please feel free to book an appointment to have a look around The Hub – sorry, no drop ins allowed at the moment.

Anne Murray – Reiki Healing and Meditation
Hi I’m Anne,
On leaving school I trained to become a Registered Nurse at Ninewells Hospital in Dundee. I have also had various jobs apart from nursing, mainly involved in the care of elderly people.
I first discovered Reiki in 2000 when my four year old son was ill. After seeing how he responded to Reiki and having my own experience of Reiki Treatments, I took the decision to train in this ancient form of healing and became a Reiki Master in 2006.
Reiki is a very relaxing treatment and recipients of Reiki have reported many benefits including reduced fatigue, improved energy levels, improved sleep and reduction of pain. It can also speed up healing and reduce symptoms of other illnesses and is helpful when trying to manage stress and anxiety.
Reiki supports the bodies’ natural healing ability and it is not harmful. It can be used in conjunction with medical treatments such as chemotherapy and radiotherapy (it is however not a substitute for medical care).
Since discovering Reiki, I have had an interesting healing journey of my own and I have learnt the importance and benefits of a positive mental attitude and of taking care of yourself on all levels, physical, mental, emotional and spiritual.
With the experience and knowledge I have gained through many years, I am keen to educate people on the importance of their own physical and mental wellbeing, in any way but also through Reiki. This I hope can be a good start on their own voyage of discovery and happiness.
As well as Reiki, I also promote the benefits of Meditation and I run Guided Meditation Classes.
Please contact me for more information regarding Reiki Treatments and Training Courses as well as Meditation Classes.

Beverley Gibb – Bev Gibb Coaching
Hi, I’m Bev and I can help you to change your life for good!
I’ve been through all the stuff life can throw at you, from births to deaths and everything in between. I’ve had the highs, the hopes and the dreams too – and crumpled life got in the way and made the dreams seem laughable. I’ve had the career and put up with the golden handcuffs. I’ve had “grit your teeth and get on with it” moments in spadefuls. I have worn the mask and hidden what was really going on. People thought I was doing great when that couldn’t have been further from the truth.
Thankfully, that all changed. Coaching changed my life. And that’s why I believe so passionately that the right coach can do it for you, too. It got me clear on what I wanted, what I needed and what was getting in the way and stopping me. It got me fit, it got me healthy, and most of all, it got me in control of my life. It helped me find me again!
I love helping people who are going through a similar journey to mine. Whether you’re a 30-something wanting to get a grip on her life before the next big zero, a frustrated 40-something, a 50-something who’s thinking “Fabulous? Who’s kidding who?”, or a 60-something who refuses to act her age and accept the countdown to retirement – I can help you turn your life around.
I am an Advanced Certified Accredited Transformational Life Coach and a graduate of Acorn Principle Plus with an Advanced Certificate in Coaching Practice, and an organisational trainer in Coaching Approaches. I am a full member of the Association for Coaching, a member of Mindful Talent Tribe and their Cutting Edge Coaches coaching community, and my coaching practice is aligned to the International Coaching Federation’s core values and code of ethics.
My coaching style as part of a holistic approach to wellbeing and for me, physical activity, moving more and sitting less, was a key factor in my transformation. It contributes to good mental health and wellbeing, giving us more energy to face life’s ups and downs! So to add to my coaching toolkit, I decided to study physical fitness and am now a Level 2 qualified Fitness Instructor and am currently working towards my Level 3 Personal Training Diploma which I hope to complete this year, as I aim to offer this as part of my coaching packages in the future. philosophy
It’s simple. You want to change, and I help you do it. I find out what you need, and we put a tailored plan in place to make it happen. I fit around you, not the other way round. I offer a range of options from a 90 minute Kickstart or packages starting with a minimum of 4 sessions. I also offer group coaching options.
To find out more, lets have a chat! I offer a free 30 minute Introductory session. Contact me on 07814 423048, email – kingennieassociates@outlook.com or message me through FB or Instagram – @BevGibbCoaching. Website coming very soon!
Alexandra Fraser Duran – Maya Holistic Therapies
Hello, my name is Alexandra and I have been an Intuitive Holistic Practitioner for more than 15 years. After working in the hospitality sector for some time and travelling the world I landed in beautiful Chester, England where my journey with healing began. I became aware of repetitive dreams where I was using my hands for healing and Reiki appeared in my life. From then on it has been a journey of non-stop learning with people in very different settings.
I trained as a Reiki practitioner and became a Reiki master soon after. I was aware of subtle energies very quickly and the connection between our emotions and the responses in our physical body.
I then studied Holistic Therapies and I fell in love with body work but in particular with reflexology. I find feet fascinating!! I genuinely see the body as an open book. An invitation to explore the inner side of us. I can perceive, sense and feel what is going on people’s lives by observing and listening to their bodies. I am an empathetic listener and I am very passionate about healing practises that are empowering and healing.
I am also a mum of two, Luca and Mia. Mia was born extremely premature and with Trisomy 21 (Down Syndrome). She has been part of this journey called life and healing. My children have been my biggest teachers to this day and I am truly grateful.
I am extremely multifaceted in the way I work, I am also very shamanic at heart and I have a strong guidance from a powerful shaman called White Eagle who works with me constantly. I have recently qualified as a Theta Healer and that has taken my work to another level.
I am here to honour you and to facilitate a safe space for you to navigate through your healing journey.
I am fully qualified and insured in the following practices:
Level 3 Diploma in Holistic Therapies, Reflexology, Aromatherapy, Indian head massage and Anatomy and Physiology.
Advance Reflexology with the AOR
Reiki Master level 3
Diploma in Facial reflexology and Japanese Cosmo-lifting with the Lone Sorensen system.
Diploma in Holistic Kinesiology with the Heilpraktiker in Barcelona.
Hot Stone massage.
Crystal Reflexology, Dowsing.
EFT or Emotional Freedom Technique,
Theta Healing: Basic DNA, Advance Theta, Dig Deeper into beliefs.
